Do you think Balenciaga is a social experiment?

[Oatmeal]

ha.

balenciaga been known for avant-garde fashions before they started making streetwear/sporty pieces.
they are just sticking to their brand

fashion rookie babble

The real social experiments come from Vetements

$3000

I dont know why ugly sneakers are trendy. Inswear i see more people with dirty air force ones than clean white ones. It makes no sense

All of this "high fashion" shyt is a complete and pure rip-off. Have a look at Givenchy for example. $623 for literally a basic white T shirt, with some faded and worn writing on it which will certainly disappear after a few washes, turning into a plain white T. I can pick up a pack of 200 white T's for $600 on Amazon

ultimate rip off. I but all my nice quality tees from Uniqlo

It would make some semblance of sense if it was but people are just products of hype. I saw a picture of Offset with some Balenciaga boots that look like some shyt Frankenstein wore.
Over pricing, exclusivity, popular artist wearing it = hype.

Like these shyts here cost over thousand dollars but I feel you'd have to PAY me a grand to wear these.

Spoiler

They out here charging a grand for the Daria / Jane specials? Yikes

Damn this brings me back.

Went to Northpark Mall in Dallas with my friends back in high school...mainly to chase girls. We walk into the Gucci store and somehow the sales staff was distracted....we fully expected to get the . Went to a rack with plain white t-shirts...cotton t-shirts....for like $200.

....you could tell people had bought this shyt too.

If/when I have enough money to buy a $200 plain white t-shirt like it's a $5 shirt, I'm going to take my azz to Target and get the $5 shirt

when you have a lot of money you don't look at the price tag.
ya'll will never know how it feels hence why you always talkin broke babble

I say all the time; my mortgage has been free and clear for almost a decade…there’s quite a bit of money sitting and I look at the price tag for everything I buy, use coupons, and won’t buy shyt until it’s lower priced than it’s ever been.

Only a fool throws money around just because. I’ll throw money at my distant family before I throw it to a company that paid $5 to manufacture a $800 shoe…

Work for Shinra, brehs.

Any dude rocking Balenciaga past, present or future is a fakkit

Homophobic slur aside, the first people who come to mind are Griselda

Human psychology

Raise the price, raise the perceived value. Plus an opportunity to financially stunt on the next man

Same thing that’s driving crypto

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Been saying that for a while. Them shyts is trash.

 

[ExodusNirvana]

I've yet to see something from that brand that I would not feel embarrassed wearing

 

[Mook]

Im only in my 30s but this is easily the wackest era. People used to style themselves based on look not brands. This shyt weird.

bernard arnault is definitely playing people for fools. he realized that the more ridiculous his luxury brands get the more money he makes.
